MES Implementation for Defense Production

The client is a mid-to-large defense production company operating multiple assembly lines for complex electromechanical systems. Prior to this engagement, their production operations relied on a combination of legacy paper-based processes and siloed digital tools, with no unified visibility across the shop floor. Each assembly line operated in relative isolation, with production data captured manually or stored in disconnected systems that could not communicate with one another. This fragmentation made it impossible for production managers to gain a real-time picture of work-in-progress, resource utilisation, or quality status at any given moment.

Operating within the defense sector, the client faced stringent regulatory and traceability obligations under frameworks including NATO AQAP-2110 and applicable MIL-SPEC standards. These requirements demanded a fully auditable, traceable record of every production event, component, and quality decision — a standard their existing processes could not reliably meet. Inteched was engaged to design and deploy a modern Manufacturing Execution System (MES) platform that would integrate seamlessly with their existing ERP (SAP) and SCADA infrastructure, replacing fragmented workflows with a single, authoritative source of production truth.
